OBAMA HEALTH CARE BY THE NUMBERS
MY LETTER TO THE WHITEHOUSE AND OBAMA ABOUT FREE SPEECH
Posted on 08/05/2009 9:16:55 AM PDT by markomalley
Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) appeared on Hardball last night in support of the Left’s attempt to discredit the people showing up to townhalls in protest of ObamaCare. Boxer says she can tell that they’re fakes, because they’re too well dressed. How does she know that this is a problem? Because well-dressed people apparently told her to get the hell out of Florida in the Bush-Gore recount, too:
That explanation is a classic. If it’s true at all, she probably stunned the Floridians with the sheer stupidity of her non-sequitur. Ronald Reagan would not have gone into Florida to tell them how to conduct their recount; he had too much respect for state sovereignty in those issues. I almost laughed out loud when Boxer trotted that out on national TV.
On her main point, we’ve hosted the videos here at Hot Air. In my recollection, the people in the town halls are dressed in T-shirts, jeans, shorts, halter tops, and the like. Maybe the people need to strip down to their Boxers in order to be considered sincere.
Brian Walsh, communications director of the NRSC, responds to Boxer’s weird bout of sartorial paranoia:
“When you consider that Barbara Boxer considers Code Pink and MoveOn.org protestors to be ‘her base,’ it’s understandable that a Senator representing the left wing fringe would be confused when ordinary Americans engage in free speech. But the fact of the matter is that across the country, Americans of all backgrounds are standing up and saying ‘no’ to the Democrats spending and health-care takeover proposals.”
And Americans of all clothing tastes as well.

Maybe the MSNBC link could be reported to flag@whitehouse.gov. After all, as patriotic Americans, we are supposed to report all disinformation we receive, right?
She is not known as “Brickhead” for nothing.......
It just makes me so “proud” to live in the state that, every 6 years, keeps re-electing the biggest idiot in the U.S. Senate.
Now we know which TYPE of “profiling” is acceptable......
You don’t look behind the door unless you’ve hid there yourself. The democrats are the masters of fake outrage, mobs and activists for hire, and manufactured “grassroots movements”.
When they see an *actual* grassroots movement, they truly cannot understand. They know the Dem equivalent would be completely fake, so they naturally assume we are.
Gee, I didn’t know there was a dress code requirement.
You have to remember she is also senile. She should talk to her Doc about her end of life decision. The sooner the better!!!

Don’t give up hope - in New Orleans we finally got rid of “Refrigerator” Jefferson. He might be actually going to prison soon. There is hope.
Early onset of Alzheimer’s Disease. Barbara Boxer is a lunatic. Maybe she needs to read the Constitution to realize that these “well-dressed” people are free to say whatever they want.
Not used to seeing actual taxpayers!!!
This woman is beyond stupid
“Not used to seeing actual taxpayers!!!”
Bingo!
Translation: If they can afford nice clothes, they can afford to pay for someone else's health care.

The courts will be so overwhelmed by this brewing fight between the branches of government that the health care industry as we've known it and all the people whose livelihoods used to depend on it could come crashing down before the courts could effectively counter its unconstitutionality.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT?

great letter =)
What on earth is this woman trying to say? And how many groups of people did she just malign with this ridiculous statement?
And, more important, aren’t we all proud that she’s helping to “govern” our country?
She 's really saying they're white middle-class people, and white middle-class people do not protest. Only poor people (read 'black people') protest. More racism from Boxer.
Well, the only protestors she knows are hippies.
She doesn’t understand that the middle class is now the target of this socialist government.
Babs is making a judgment using standards of the usual democrat rally.
Top Ten reasons these crowds seem strange to her:
01 - No community organizers to be found anywhere.
02 - Women have shaved legs and armpits.
03 - Men and women recently groomed and showered.
04 - No lingering odor and haze of pot smoke in the air.
05 - No roving bands of snarling, mustachioed lesbians.
06 - Men look like men.
07 - No anti-semitic, holocaust denyer signs.
08 - No orchestrated demonstrations demanding more free stuff from government.
09 - Placards and signs are home made and all different.
10 - Parking lots not packed with large ACORN excursion buses.
Conservatives going to a public venue dressed respectfully, what a shocker! Would somebody please send Babs a clue? It’s obvious she doesn’t have one.
Zero's blatantly anti-constitutional thrust should, IMHO, be considered impeachable.

She may be just a complete idiot but maybe she also knows her MSNBC audience.
What an idiot. The mashed potatoes I’m eating right now have more brains.
Two words: Al Franken.
Time to heat up the tar and start fluffing up the feathers.
Ahhh! Boxer at last does something useful: gives me an excuse to hit Macy’s this weekend! Thanks Babs!
"Feelin' Groovy"
"Your majesty... the peasants are revolting!"
"You said it! They stink on ice!!"
Don't get saucy with me, Bernaise ...

Swear allegiance to the flag, whatever flag they offer;
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly for, someday, sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still.

Yes Ma’am.
Bobkk47 sez: “It just makes me so “proud” to live in the state that, every 6 years, keeps re-electing the biggest idiot in the U.S. Senate”.
A bigger idiot than our Iowa idiot Tommy the Commie Harkin?
He is at least in the top 3 Senate idiots!
Why are the dems so upset, over, well community organizing?
Isn’t this just the stuff which 0 was made famous for?
Didn’t Michelle tell us during the campaign Barak was going to compel us get out and get involved?
Be careful what you wish for baby, you just might get it.
The protesters are too well dressed means Boxer hasn’t
raised their taxes enough, she wants the shirts off
their backs.

OMG? Perhaps we are well dressed because....get ready for it....we work for a living (ie we are TAX PAYERS) and we really do care what we smell like!
09 - Placards and signs are home made with correct spelling and all different
“She ‘s really saying they’re white middle-class people, and white middle-class people do not protest. Only poor people (read ‘black people’) protest. More racism from Boxer.”
I believe you’re right. What an appalling woman this is.
Good observation!
Ya gotta understand - the only protesters she knows of look like this. These are HER constituents.
